Varying from the the distance from the Earth to the Moon + the distance from the sun to the earth + the distance from mercury to the sun, to the distance from the earth to the sun - the distance from mercury to the sun - the distance from the earth to the moon


Is it possible to have a solar eclipse when the moon and sun are both at their maximum distances?

Yes, but it wouldn't be a total solar eclipse. It would be an annular eclipse. The Sun is so far away that the difference between its size when it's at its maximum distance versus its minimum distance is small. The Moon, on the other hand, is about 30% smaller when at its maximum distance than it appears at its minimum distance. At its maximum distance, it appears smaller than the sun, and thus can't fully cover the Sun's disc.


How far away is the sun in miles?

It varies - the moon orbits the Earth so the distance will change depending on Earth's distance from the sun as well as the moon's distance from the Earth. The minimum distance from the moon to the sun is when the Earth is closest to the sun and the moon is in new moon phase (meaning its closer to the sun than the Earth). The distance from the moon to the sun is: Earth's distance at perihelion - moon's distance from Earth at apogee. This works out to 146,692,370 km. The maximum distance from the moon to the sun is when the Earth is farthest from the sun and the moon is in full moon phase. The distance from the moon to the sun is Earth's distance at aphelion + moon's distance from Earth at apogee. This works out to 150,503,400 km.


How far the Venus from the Earth?

Venus can be fairly close to Earth, or it can be on the other side of the Sun. To get the (approximate) range of distances:* Look up the distance from Sun to Earth. * Look up the distance from Sun to Venus. * Add both to get the maximum distance; subtract them to get the minimum distance.
